Curious about setting up a private strip in France.

Maybe just an idea, but I can dream

My father owns a field in Normandy with no house but has a caravan he stays in for a few months a year. I'll never be in a position to buy a house in this country, but country properties in France a far more affordable. There may be a house right next to Dads field coming up for sale in the next few years, so a very embrionic idea has sprung to mind. I'm thinking along the lines of a holiday home for those wanting to fly into a private strip (dads field?) and stay in a nice cottage in the countryside. It would be a way to help pay the mortgage for a holiday/retirement home for us, and would be great fun to plan .... so

Does anyone have experience of setting up a strip in France? Is there anything similar to the 28 day rule over there? Is it a virtual impossibility? I don't even have much experience of flying over there, so this is all just "pie in the sky" at the moment ..... but you never know?
